Alexander McQueen tribute: Sarah Jessica Parker, Wintour, and Campbell bid farewell
The fashion elite descended on St. Paul's Cathedral in London Monday (Sept. 20) to pay their respects to Alexander McQueen.
The always fashionable little black dress was sadly never more appropriate as Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, and Sarah Jessica Parker, gathered with over 1,000 close friends to say their final goodbyes.
McQueen who took his own life seven months ago, was one of the world's most celebrated and intriguing designers. His career had pushed the envelope for over 18 years, and created a cult-like following along the way.
Anna Wintour eloquently spoke at the service while draped in a vintage McQueen coat. Of McQueen Anna said: "He showed us everything was possible; dreams could become reality. But he has left us with an even more exceptional legacy, a talent that soared like the birds of his childhood above us all."
Bjork serenaded the somber cathedral with her rendition of "Gloomy Sunday" while wearing a pair of Angel Wings.
The service took place at the beginning of London's Fashion week, that will sure be filled with reflections on McQueen's amazing career.The label is now under the direction of Sarah Burton, but we have a feeling there are some very well dressed angels looking down on fashion week in heavenly McQueen creations.
